3. Setup and Preparation

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the shears from their packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, gently wipe the blades with a soft, dry cloth to remove any manufacturing residues.
3. Lubrication: Apply a small drop of professional shear oil to the pivot screw area. Open and close the shears several times to distribute the oil, then wipe off any excess. This ensures smooth operation.

4. Operating Instructions

These thinning shears are designed to remove bulk from hair without significantly altering the length. Proper technique is crucial for desired results.

1. Hair Preparation: Ensure the hair is clean, dry, and detangled before thinning.
2. Sectioning: Divide the hair into manageable sections. Identify areas where bulk reduction is needed.
3. Technique: Hold the shears with your left hand, ensuring a comfortable grip. Insert the thinning blade into a section of hair, typically a few inches from the scalp or mid-shaft, depending on the desired effect. Avoid cutting too close to the scalp or ends.
4. Cutting Motion: Close the shears gently and smoothly. Do not slide the shears through the hair while closing, as this can damage the hair cuticle.
5. Check Progress: After each cut, comb through the section to assess the amount of hair removed. Repeat as necessary, working in small increments to avoid over-thinning.
6. Cleaning During Use: Periodically remove any accumulated hair from the blades using a soft brush or cloth to maintain cutting efficiency.

Important: Always use thinning shears on dry hair for best results and to prevent damage to the shears or hair.

5. Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance will extend the life and performance of your Premax thinning shears.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a soft, dry cloth to remove hair and debris.
• Disinfection: If used in a professional setting, disinfect the shears according to local health regulations. Ensure the disinfectant is suitable for metal tools and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Dry thoroughly after disinfection.
• Lubrication: Apply a small drop of professional shear oil to the pivot screw area weekly or as needed, depending on frequency of use. This helps maintain smooth action and prevents wear.
• Storage: Store the shears in a protective case or pouch when not in use to prevent damage to the blades and tips. Keep them in a dry environment.
• Sharpening: Professional shears require specialized sharpening. Do not attempt to sharpen them yourself. Seek a qualified professional shear sharpener when the blades become dull.
• Avoid Dropping: Dropping the shears can misalign the blades or damage the tips, affecting their cutting performance.

6. Troubleshooting

• Shears Pulling Hair:
  Cause: Blades may be dull, misaligned, or have accumulated hair/debris.
  Solution: Clean the blades thoroughly. Apply oil to the pivot. If the issue persists, professional sharpening or adjustment may be required.
• Shears Not Cutting Smoothly:
  Cause: Lack of lubrication, debris in the pivot, or dull blades.
  Solution: Clean and lubricate the shears. If dullness is suspected, consult a professional sharpener.
• Rust Spots Appearing:
  Cause: Exposure to moisture or improper drying after cleaning/disinfection.
  Solution: Ensure shears are completely dry after any contact with liquids. Store in a dry environment. Small rust spots may be carefully removed with a fine abrasive, but severe rust indicates improper care.
